Description Program Srvc AccomThe Foundation for Learning Equality has been able to sustain and grow its efforts to bring Open Educational Resources to disconnected and disadvantaged communities around the world. The software we build and support, KA Lite, has now been installed many thousands of times in over 140 countries, in contexts as varied as low-income schools in India, orphanages in Cameroon, prisons across the United States, refugee programs in Lebanon, and First Nations community centers in northern Canada.Software development for KA Lite: internationalization, student account management tools, improved coach and student reports, custom playlists, pretest and summative exams, updated Khan Academy content, improved data synchronization, and streamlined mobile interface.Documentation and user guides: available in HTML and PDF format, these documents walk the user through setting up and using KA Lite, with annotated screenshots.Support and training: In-person, as well as over email and phone calls, we have provided free training and support to administrators, teachers, and NGO partners using KA Lite in the field.Advocacy and outreach: Attending conferences and other events, we have been active in advocating the value of OERs and the specific needs of disconnected communities.Research and needs assessment: Iterating with our partners and users, we are working to understand and improve KA Lite and develop best-practice implementation guidelines.DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt
